Re: [libreoffice-users] LO5.1 on Linux - Opening Writer document takes >1hr

Hi Patrick,

While this does not address your problem directly, I wonder whether it 
is possible to break your document down into a master document with sub 
documents:

https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Master_Documents_and_Subdocuments

There is also a section devoted to this topic in the writer manual:

http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/

Based on the size and complexity of your document, migrating in this 
direction is initially going to take a bit of time and effort. It won't 
be easy! But, again, based on what you have told us, management of the 
existing document is likely to throw up continuous challenges which may 
be avoidable.

Sorry I can't answer your existing problem but I hope I have provided 
food for thought.

Cheers
